An Evening With Dee Dee Halleck

Join us in kicking off Halleck's new book Hand Held Visions: The Impossible Possibilities of Community Media. Halleck will share her visions for taking the power back and facilitate a discussion on the future of independent media. Dee Dee Halleck is one of the pioneers of radical alternative video. As cofounder of Paper Tiger TV and Deep Dish Network and one of the principle shapers of Indymedia, she has tirelessly organized for more access to the means of media production since the 1960s. She has had a hand in collectively producing 15 years of radical video critiques of mass culture and politics, as well as, leading media workshops with elementary school children, reform school youth and migrant farmers. Her films include: "Children Make Movies" (1961); "Mural on Our Street" which was nominated for an Academy Award in 1965; "The Gringo in Mañanaland," a feature film about stereotypes of Latin Americans in U.S. "Above all, these pages bring us headfirst into the process of making radical alternative video. This collection is an indomitable call to arms, to throw our energies into radical alternative media, and an extraordinary memoir of what that has meant. It is a call to courage, and a reminder of how much courage and vision we need." -John Downing BYOB. OPEN WAREHOUSE FOR YOUR BOOK BUYING PLEASURE Doors open at 7pm, Dee Dee 8pm
